We Talk Rock Band

Public Group active 1 year, 11 months ago

A group where we can discuss all things Rock Band!

  • Mike “Wigglycito” Irizarry posted an update in the group We Talk Rock Band:   1 year, 11 months ago · View

    I’m pretty sure this is totally accurate. I found a nice site where I can keep track of my Rock Band library. I have 357 songs in my Rock Band library. (If I ever export the Lego Rock Band songs, it’ll be 402.)

    Also, I changed the group picture in honor of our new BOBL!

    I’m so glad there’s a keyboard in RB 3. Eventually they will now be able to make a 50s Rock ’n’ Roll rockband game. I want to do some good ol’ bangin’ piano. And of course the whole idea of the guitar and keyboard being more realistic and actually teaching you to play is going to be something special indeed. One thing i’d like now is Sax. Or Double Bass. Anyone see those happening ever?

      Wiggly and I were discussing the idea of a ”Golden Oldies” version of Rock Band and we’d love it. Pounding away on the keyboard like Jerry Lee Lewis would pound away on (refraining from making lewd joke about underage female cousins) his piano would be ACES! We’re with you. I’m interested to know whether or not the game will actually teach you to play the keyboard or not, because if so, I may be interested. As for a plastic, candy button, saxophone or double bass; no thanks. I’ve got enough plastic shit in my house. If it isn’t going to operate as an actual instrument (like the MIDI keyboard), I’m not interested. However, I’m sure there are a lot of people who would eat it up and that’s cool, because it drives up my shares.

      Yes, being able to go all Jerry Lee or Little Richard on that keyboard in rockband, and then switch over and duckwalk and geetar to some Chuck Berry would be awesome.
      As for double bass and sex, i’m thinking they’d be cool if they made them like the new instruments rather than the old plastic toys.

        and i only want them to fill out the rock n roll instruments for the game.

      Cool! I dig me some Rock Band. Although my new TV’s speakers aren’t really up to the challenge… there’s no bottom to it, it sounds too tinny. Anyone have any advice for how to get some bass for cheaps?

      Wiggly · 1 year, 11 months ago

      I could never do without a proper amp and surround sound system (do to being an audiophile as a musician) but, if you want some bass on the cheap, I’d recommend something like this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4815418&SRCCODE You might need some adapters from The Shack but, it will get the job done.

      That is even cheaper than I was hoping! What kind of setup do you have? I have my guitar amp just sitting around collecting dust. Could I hook that to the tv somehow?

      Wiggly · 1 year, 11 months ago

      Wow, do not hook up a guitar amp unless you’re going through a direct box or other type of converter.
      I have an older Yamaha RXV-992 receiver, Klipsch Center Speaker, Cerwin-Vega AT-15 front of house and Advent surround speaker. I have to do some finagling with a HDMI and RGB set of switching boxes routed directly to my TV while the audio goes to my receiver because my model of receiver only supports as high as S-Video Input (no big deal).
      I’ve been eyeing up a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001S2RD9A?ie=UTF8&tag=wigglysw-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001S2RD9A in Chizzie’s Peep Points and I’d love to hook them to a big buck, Mirage NANOSAT 5.1 speaker set. But, if you have smaller amounts of systems to hook up, Yamaha makes some receivers that are as low as $130, the speakers you hook up to it will make a difference though.

      I’m excited and a bit scared for Keyboard play. Cuz you are literally going to be playing Keyboard. I see no way around it.

        Totally. I hope it’s a keytar.

        Also, if Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t in this with harmonies and keyboard, I will lose some respect for Harmonix,

      I voted for Led, Pink Floyd and Queen.
      When they asked who else I would want a Deticated game for, I voted for Weird Al.

      That would be awesome.
